I too needed keys for door handle locks fitted to my 1932 RN saloon. Mine were in the MW series. I checked the replacementkeys website, typing in the numbers on Saturday evening, paying by Paypal, the keys were with me on Tuesday. I then needed to free off the barrels with penetrating fluid and both locks are now working. An excellent service and thanks to forum members for giving me the info.

I must admit I am getting rather annoyed with the public for opening the doors on my RL without at least asking. Particularly so when I am stood next to it.

The last 'gent' to do so offered me a fight after I asked him where his car was so I could nose around the inside. I think his wife saw swnce and he backtracked and got all appologetic. Good job too, he was twice as fat as me and probalby 20years older, it wouldnt have been a fair match.

Is there a simple, non visually intrusive way of locking a box saloon without fitting those horrid screw on guides to the outside of the door?. I like the look of mine without them, and do not really want to fit them if I can get away with it.

Yes Hedd, acquire a locking handle, remove mounting plate and machine/file down the portion of the handle which was in the mounting plate to suit the tube portion of a Seven door catch. Carefully mark the desired position for the handle locking bar in the tube and cut to suit. Reduce the length of the square in the handle to suit & cut a 1/4" BSF or is it BSW on the end for a retaining nut and securely lock the nut. Voila, no mounting screws for would be thieves to unscrew and rotate the handle.
